But what if Snape's not a human being at all? Without going into 
the whole Snape's a vampire theory, there are creatures in the 
Potterverse who look like human beings but aren't. As Hagrid 
says of his giantess mother, it's not  in their nature to be 
protective of  children. 

If non-humans are going to teach at Hogwarts and mingle with 
humans as equals in wizarding society, then obviously not all 
adults can be role models for human behavior.
